SAP committed itself to oData. With Fiori Elements you can generate UIs from oData endpoints. Their super crappy frontend framework UI5 also integrates with it quite strongly.
Yeah, UI5 is quite a nightmare. Working with OData is a dream with it. I always found it really difficult to make the dreams of designers work with SAPUI5. Hard to customise components or write custom ones.
Keeping in mind you are 45 strong company setup, is your shop seriously getting onboard with this?
And sell own apps within SAP customer base using these APIs?
Building your stuff is one piece.
Really, to sell it within SAP customer base, is battle in itself. Unless you are Accenture, Capgemini, IBM etc.
So even if Graph makes some improvement on technology front, why would a smaller scale shop be willing to build anything if they can’t tap easily into that customer base.
How? (this appears to be preview with “sandbox APIs”)
Would you mind expanding on your experience working with this?
> It is however unfortunate that they choose to use OData
Had the same sentiments. They take good step forward and then chose OData (bummer)
